    Bazz has been playing the last few games on a sore toe....it shows in his game..he's hobbled and playin' through it...still leads the team in steals though....Turner has been playing with a sore lower back too....it's that time of year

    Pretty sure Dwight Jaynes died years ago.

    Maybe that's an old story you read? :dunno:

    Lets enjoy the fact that Wade has played well with minutes given and Bazz overall has had a nice yr but IMO likely won't be back next yr. We can certainly use a decent sized guard who can play D and has an offensive game as well. More importantly I am looking for us to get Ed and Mo back for the playoffs

    He may have a sore toe but that hasn't stopped him from jacking up shoots at a horrible percentage. Since the beginning of March, he is shooting a woeful .366 from the field. If he really has a sore toe, stop bricking it up and get your teammates involved a little more.

    I like Bazz...but I agree.
    I also find it funny that people harp on CJ for never passing the ball, but they still like Bazz. I swear I've seen Bazz "run" more no-pass possessions than anybody on the team. Bazz is the man. But at this point, Baldwin should be our back-up PG - going into the POs it would be a ballsy move, but I believe it would pay dividends.

    I never trust the accuracy of a Jaynes statement.

    What's up with that? If he is right he is right. If he is wrong then so be it.
    If the only thing you consider is the source then you miss the content.

    If his basketball knowledge is anything like his brothers then taking anything he says serious is a sad mistake. My son had Jaynes brother as a coach at Franklin High School his senior year and the next year the parents ran him out. About 3 or 4 seniors quit shortly after the season started. The only way my son learned anything was because he had two ex college players as his assistants and they fortunately ran the practices. It was not a good season as I think they won about 3 or 4 games.

    Wades game profiles well in the playoffs, theoretically speaking. He can defend any guard and he gets to the line. He’s not a great shooter but he’s not a liability either, as he’s shown so far. And the bad shooting is pretty much just based on his rookie numbers and his g league stint where he was still recovering from a hand injury and wearing a wrap on his shooting hand. In college he was much more efficient and he’s a very good free throw shooter.

    If his shooting comes around...I don’t even want to say it because it’ll sound like hyperbole. All I will say is this could go down as Olsheys best signing.

    But here’s a Kevin O'Connor pre draft article about Baldwin’s game and potential.
